partypoker - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 109.5 BB
MP: 101.5 BB
CO: 100 BB
BTN: 77 BB
Hero (SB): 102 BB
BB: 118 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♣ J♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.5 BB, BB raises to 9 BB, Hero calls 6.5 BB

Flop: (18 BB, 2 players) 5♦ 7♦ 4♣
Hero checks, BB checks

Turn: (18 BB, 2 players) 9♠
Hero checks, BB checks

River: (18 BB, 2 players) 8♥
Hero bets 8.5 BB, BB calls 8.5 BB

With J blocker trying to represent one of the many ways he could be beat by. his 3bet pre plus checking back twice made me feel like he missed the flop/river too. Even if the river bluff wasn't shitty, it was probably oversized?

If you wanna bluff this river you need to bet at least this amount, probably even more.
I wouldn't try it though, it's hard to make him fold anything you aren't already beating.

The 8 is a good bluffing card, but don't do this moves on NL2 because your fold equity is basically none.

Sure there's always a way to bluff at a moment or an other but it's more dependant to the kind of opponent you face , in my opinion.
Try to bluff a weak calling station is non-sens or a nit who called you so far means you're probably doomed and it's unlikely he folds if he called you to the river.
Also to increase your rate of bluff success the last action you've made before the bluff should be stronger than your opponent actions.
I'm not a cash game player so take my opinion carefully about it.

Best of Skills & Luck @ Tables,

It is a 3b pot and after villain xb flop, you should bet turn.

Check back OTR. Ah has a nice showdown value vs small Axs hands, but gets called by AK, AQ type bluff catching hands.
This is one of the best no pair hands you can have here, except AQ, which also must be a check back IMO.

So, yeah. I dislike this bluff. Instead you can bet like 1/3 PSB with 9x, 8x type hands to get called by AK, f.e. (depends on opponent though)

Agree with Nitrol about the turn stab after he checked OTF.

If you want to take down the pot, you should have bet the turn and if he calls bet the river as well. And bet around 3/4 pot size to induce a fold from some pocket pairs and AK AQ type of a hands.
Once you got to river I dont see a reason to bet 1/2 pot here. What do you really represent by river, since it was a 3bet pot your range isnt that wide. Checking the river is the best option if there was no action before, cause you still have showdown value.
AK AQ and all pocket pairs that he 3bets with has an easy call on river. I dont see any hand that beats you folding on this river.
